Fresh data just dropped from Windermere’s Principal Economist Jeff Tucker, and I love that we get access to this kind of research so quickly. Because when the market shifts, timing matters. Here is what the first quarter of 2026 is telling us.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲: 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁. 📈 Active listings up 35% compared to last year 📉 Median prices running 1% to 2% below year ago levels 🏡 Closed sales down about 4% from Q1 2025 ⏱️ Median days on market: 35 days in March, up from 31 days a year ago For buyers, that is genuinely better conditions than we have seen in years. And for context, homes are not sitting idle. They are simply taking a few more days than last year, which is a healthy normalization, not a stall.

𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆. In 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗱 and 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲, well priced single family homes are still receiving multiple offers. These neighborhoods have a depth of demand that broader regional data simply cannot capture. Knowing which side of that line your home sits on changes everything about your strategy.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁: The Iran situation and its effect on energy prices and mortgage rates is still unfolding. As a result, the second quarter will likely tell us more about where this market is truly headed. I will keep sharing what I am seeing as the data comes in.
